HORNE CHERRY-PICKING LAWS

In the 16 states that have medical-marijuana laws, there has never
been a prosecution of a state worker. Nor did U.S. Attorney for
Arizona Dennis Burke threaten to do this. His letter is being used as
a pretext for thwarting the voters.

If any further proof was needed, Attorney General Tom Horne says
Arizona will not take a position in this matter. Why not? It is state
law. He's the attorney general of Arizona.

How about supporting the state law? How come these folks go toe to toe
with the federal government on immigration and health care but want to
bow and kowtow on this particular issue? Hypocrisy.
